The latest previews from Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' proved that the 'Avengers'-adjacent series will significantly expand its ranks before the May series finale, and its latest addition is the most fan-friendly yet. Comedian and voice of the nerd pantheon Patton Oswalt himself will join the 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' in the coming weeks as Marvel comics' Agent Eric Koenig, hopefully bringing his patented 'Parks and Recreation' filibuster one step closer to reality.

According to Marvel, Oswalt will appear in an unknown future episode as Koenig, a character who first appeared in 'Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos' issue #27, one of the original team of World War II soldiers from the comics, but obviously not present among the gang in 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' As for how Oswalt obtained his first Marvel Cinematic Universe role, given his past with Joss Whedon's 'Dollhouse,' Oswalt joked that he had simply been asked out of the blue, and accepted.

Looking deeper into his role, Oswalt even investigated a few presumptions about the character that might prove tantalizing for Marvel fans:

When they first told me the character’s name, I’ll admit the first thing I did is I went on Wikipedia and looked up the M.O.D.O.K. character to see if Koenig was maybe his name before he became M.O.D.O.K., but it wasn’t. They keep on talking about the Clairvoyant in the show and I’m like, ‘is that M.O.D.O.K.? Am I M.O.D.O.K.?
